Have you ever met someone virtually who just speaks out to you? Then you wind up following them through social media platforms and watch their growth, inspiration, and messaging of support and optimism? I have. That is how I met this amazing leader, Tyrone V. Ross Jr.! I am in awe of his success and more importantly, of the messages he brings forth. It is with great honor that we present Tyrone\u2019s raw vulnerability in this interview. Keep an eye on Tyrone – there is no doubt that he will continually rise in our great profession.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tyrone<\/strong>: I\u2019m a first-generation high school graduate born and raised in New Jersey. Eventually, because of track and field, I was able to go to college. I started a graduate program and had a professor mention something about this place called Wall Street, which I knew nothing about.<\/p>

I got hired to be an associate, and I hadn\u2019t taken an accounting class, hadn\u2019t taken a business class. I hadn\u2019t done anything with money whatsoever, and I was a juvenile probation officer. But they bought whatever I was selling, and the managing director gave me my first shot.<\/p>

From there, I had a circuitous route to being a stockbroker, cold calling every day, and I ended up in a wire house at Merrill Lynch and was there for five years before becoming independent.<\/p>

That was kind of forced, because after dealing with things like being told to change my name to Tyler because Tyrone was too Black and racial slurs and other stuff, I just had enough. So it pushed me into my destiny, which is fantastic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tyrone: <\/b>It\u2019s very important that men speak up and do things when they see women in situations that they can\u2019t control. All this other stuff is pie in the sky, but we need men to stand up for the women in the moment, so they\u2019re in a space to express their opinions.<\/p>

We don\u2019t protect the women that are already here. If we did, those women would turn around to their friends and bring them in. Men have to be big and bold enough to stand up for women in the moment and defend them, and then we\u2019ll see more women advocate for our business. Until then, all of this is just grandstanding. You have to retain women and people of color by giving them dignity in the workspace.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tyrone<\/strong>: I\u2019m a huge fan of mentorship, bigger fan of sponsorship. A sponsor puts human capital and monetary capital behind you, investing just more than time, but they put their network and brand behind you. I think mentorship should evolve into sponsorship at some point.<\/p>

But I think these have to be organic relationships. My mentor came and tapped me on my shoulder and said, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen anybody with this kind of work ethic, but that\u2019s not how you become a financial advisor. You\u2019re a fantastic salesman.\u201d<\/p>

A true mentor provides a blueprint. My mentor at Merrill explained the blueprint for a good financial advisor, but told me, \u201cYou\u2019re never going to be me, but take what you do well and do that.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tyrone<\/strong>: My dream to become an Olympian. I\u2019m trying to work to have that part of my life die off, and I\u2019m working though that pain and that hurt and that brokenness, and it has been a struggle. It drove me to near suicide. Any goal can be like that, though. It comes in all shapes and forms, but when you\u2019ve put your all into something, and it doesn\u2019t come to fruition, it does crush you. It\u2019s one of the hardest things to do when you\u2019re given a gift, a talent, a work ethic, and you just get right there, and it doesn\u2019t happen. It breaks you down a bit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
